did you know that Biden is old?

[Anonymous]

The median age of US president is 55. The age of the oldest Presidents on Inauguration Day:

Biden: 78
Trump 70
Reagan 69
William Henry Harrison 68 (died 31 days later)
James Buchanan 65
George H. W. Bush 64
Zachary Taylor 64
Dwight D. Eisenhower 62
Andrew Jackson 61
John Adams 61 years
Gerald Ford 61

ALL 36 of the other Presidents have been 60 or YOUNGER. (9 Presidents have been in their 40's including Teddy Roosevelt, Obama, Clinton, Kennedy. Only 4 have been over 65 - and should we even count the one who only lasted 31 days?)

Regan ended his presidency at 77 and there were concerns that he was experiencing cognitive decline during his second term. He was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's 5 years after at 82.

Biden will be 82 if elected and need to make it to 86 to finish his term. It is like the tale of the Emperor who has no clothes - who is going to tell Biden forcefully he is far too old to run? I will not vote for Biden this time even though I voted for him 4 years ago. What is the Democratic Party thinking? There needs to be a meeting so that a viable candidate can be put forward. I am voting for a person for President not a puppet. Who is the Puppet Master? I might have my guesses but I really don't know.

Trump will be 80. He is too old as well.

There really needs to be an upper limit for the Presidency.

Trump is basically the same age as Biden and far worse off in terms of cognitive decline. In fact most “I *hAvE* tO vOtE fOr TrUmP” people keep saying Biden is experiencing decline but they can’t actually point to anything. Except Hur’s hatchet job, but that being a political hatchet job has about as much substance to it as a Tucker Carlson talking head.

You cannot be serious. This explains so much. You willfully ignore every single example of Biden’s cognitive decline, no matter how many examples are put in front of you. This is why no one takes you seriously. You are not a serious person.

By "Biden's cognitive decline" you mean the second and a half of a 53 minute speech where he stutters or gets a name or a word wrong but immediately recovers. And then does a press conference. As compared to Trump who routinely rambles on and on incoherently for most of his speech.

LOL.
With Democrats, everything is about optics and appearance.
It is going to take a hell of a lot more than a bit of foundation to convince people that Biden is up for the job.
But, hey - maybe the State of Union address will be his chance to reset perceptions. That is what his campaign is hoping for anyway.
Nothing like setting expectations high....... we shall see.

Have you looked at Trump recently? It is LITERALLY optics and appearances. Talk about projection. The girdle, shoe lifters, bronzer and the ridiculous haircut.

What a laugh! If you want to be convincing, make a bold effort into being something compelling! That the only response you to Democrats issues is “but we’re not Trump!”, you clearly don’t care about people!

And you think Trump cares about anyone but himself? Are you high? You think Trump has a platform beyond owning the libs and hatred of illegal immigrants? He doesn't. He's all smoke and mirrors. Fraud fraud fraud.

Save your high and mighty attitude you complete fool.

Why isn't anyone talking about Biden being old? How has this been kept a secret for so long??

/s

I am so gd tired of hearing about Biden's age. He is doing a great job as president - and, perhaps most importantly, he is NOT Trump.

The Times also thinks the resistance is burned out. I really resist the idea that the Times is actively trying to usher in another Trump presidency, gd forbid, but sometimes it feels that way.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/19/us/politics/trump-resistance-democrats-voters.html

We're all burned out. We're all exhausted. But I think you will find us crawling over glass to make sure Trump does not get into the WH again.

And yeah yeah yeah, I know you're about to come back with "genocide!" and "the border" and "aliens" or whatever - and I do not care.

^ me again

I liked this column

The slate article is stupid. Gaslighting Americans into voting for an incapacitated man because his unelected aides can run the day to day is not convincing.

Biden's sure passed a lot of HUGE BIPARTISAN legislation to be incapacitated. Sorry for you that he just keeps winning. But let's play that it's his unelected aides, wont they still be there in 2024?

If the fate of democracy is at stake, you need a President people have confidence in. Not just their aides running the show.

Well then you CANT vote for Trump.

And yet you still don't give examples of that.

Ha. Not about to waste my time repeating YET AGAIN all the examples already provided for you. Here ya go. Not that you'll bother to read or acknowledge any of it.

I’ve seen the little threads you’ve tried. I’ve seen your little examples. They’re not parallel examples of the decline Trump is going through; you look at Biden through a partisan lens and think no one else is seeing him, but that’s your bias.

Biden is only running because Trump is. Trump is only running to try and escape the law.

Republicans are still voting Republican because he idea of a fascist dictatorship excites you; the idea of Trump getting away with it all gives you so much pleasure you can hardly stand it.

Biden is running because he is a stubborn old man who doesn't know better. And, Jill continues to encourage him.
Trump is running because during his first term, things were so much better. We need to undo all of horrendous policies of Biden.

DP. Do you actually believe what you just typed? We are in trouble of the rest of the American public is as dumb and uninformed as you are. Biden has been in the news saying he is running because Trump is, and that he wouldn’t be running if Trump wasn’t running. And anyone with two brain cells can see that Trump sees being a presidential candidate as a shield from being held accountable for crimes. He can scream “political witch hint!” about all the court proceedings and hopes he can get elected to pardon himself of as many charges as possible.

If you really think Trump is running out of some interest in helping out the American people, you are probably experiencing some form of cognitive decline yourself.

LOL! Thx for my first hardy laugh of the day. Yeah, right, THAT’S why Trump is running. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about you, your fellow MAGAs, the GOP, or this country. He has no platform or coherent set of policies. He’s running to keep himself out of jail and to stay relevant.

too old. old people need to recognize when the times have past them. I asked my father who is the same age and really sharp for his age "do you think you can be president at your age" and his response was flat out NO and he is a hardcore dem. He says that things are moving too fast around him and while he is healthy and seems fine, its something that he only notices. Im just saying, sample size of 1 but still, he is old by every measure. Not sure if he is fit for the job and NO I dont think trump will be any better if he wins due to his age and how quickly you start going down. As a dem, I might as well vote for Haily because she is the most fit to be president. Its amazing that our party is allowing biden to continue.

Here's the difference between random old people like your dad (mine too, for that matter) and Biden. To begin with, most of them have been retired for years by the time they reach Biden's age and are not engaging in regular exercise, adhering to a rigorous daily schedule, or engaging in high-level thinking on a daily basis. Biden has never retired. While he has no doubt slowed down like anyone over 70, he has been in politics for 52 years. He has half a century's worth of knowledge to draw from on a daily basis, including 8 years as VP and 3 years as president--more executive experience than any presidential candidate in history. He personally knows most past and present world leaders. He has selected experienced, capable people, many with decades of government service, to implement his policies--not just randos who have impressed him by praising him on TV. He is nothing like your father or mine. And he is infinitely more experienced and knowledgeable on how to run a country than Trump.

You won't believe that either. All you have to do is compare his speeches from 4 years ago to his speeches today. But you won't do that either.

Thanks for telling me what I will and won't do! I'm looking at results. And I am VERY happy with those results under a Biden presidency. I honestly don't give two f***s what you think he sounds like during speeches. He's done a good job. And he is NOT Trump - who you dummies were stupid enough to nominate again.

I guess the thing is - did you know Biden is old? I didn't know! I just had no idea until I saw yet another story talking about him being old.

The funny thing is it is Democrats who are dumpting Biden and his brand. Looks like you did not receive the memo. Subscribe for some DNC updates.

They are setting the stage for Biden not receiving the nomination at the convention despite him winning the primary. Biden will soon be told he will either swallow his pride and quietly exit on his terms or be humiliated at the convention but he will not be the nominee.

No one asked for you to give us a play-by-play of your dream last night.

Absent a major medical emergency or Trump withdrawing from the GOP ticket, Biden will be on the ballot as POTUS candidate in November.

What I find really interesting is that if Trump leave the GOP ticket, Biden will likely do the same.

However, if Biden has to leave to Democratic ticket (due to a health issue), there is zero chance that Trump also withdraws. Trump is going to ride this dragon until the end.

Biden will not be the nominee. My money is on Whitmer as POTUS nominee and a male POC from the south as the VP nom.

I’m pp. I’m going to pray to the universe for this every day.

I take it you are a Trump supporter? Whitmer + "male POC" is not going to win the presidency.

I am OP and I actually think that Whitmer + Warnock would be a helluva strong ticket - in 2028. (If they make it through the nomination process - that process is tough and revealing! See: Meatball)

Not sure why people gloss over this ambition if actually voting for someone worth the office instead of talking themselves into believing Biden is a rockstar? It's like, let's celebrate for getting D because we don't fail! I'm so sad for this country!

Or, if you ever listened to some of us, we actually like Biden. And I was bummed when he got the nom in 2020, but I have been happily proven wrong. If you ever got out of your bubble, if the “HES OLDDDD” media ever got out of their bubble, you might know this. There’s at least ten of us around the internet, but no one represents our opinions and when we share them, we’re accused of “talking ourselves into believing” things. No. I looked at the evidence.

+1 I am OP and I like Biden. I like him as a person, and as a president. I am not holding my nose to vote for him. I like him.

Someone has to be that 39 percent that approve. Doesn’t mean there’s enough of you for him to win.

That's true! But your guy is awfully polarizing.

Whitmer is a popular governor from a purple state. She’s got none of the baggage that is driving people away from Biden.
The nominee will not be Biden. The media is telegraphing it for everyone.

As a former reporter, let me promise you: "the media" does not know of some secret plan to oust Biden and replace him with [insert name] any more than you do.
